the earth had just been formed by gravity and thus the surface was still not complete. it was basically kinda like our sister planet venus in that it was mostly lava. it took a while to cool and when it did, water was able to condense and over time oceans were built around a single land mass known as pangea. i hope that about sums up a lot of info into a tiny undetailed package.

When will all the planets line up in a line?

The chances of the planets ever lining up are so statistically improbable that it is safe to say it will never happen. The actual chances of the planets ever lining up has been calculated to be about once every 8.6 x 1046 years. (That's once every 86 billion, trillion, trillion, trillion years.) Since the Sun will be gone in about 10 billion years, it is impossible for this to happen.
